"Hurry up, be sure not to let the enemy get close to the walls!" Xu Ji shouted, and suddenly the surrounding people hurriedly moved all kinds of city defense equipment onto the city wall. At this time, the Rinshan army was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the feather arrows defending the city landed on the big shield of the Rinshan army with a clanging sound, and the Mo sword soldiers under the big shield continued to approach the city wall with the big shield.

"A platoon is ready, and the elevation is three launches!" Cheng Hu stood next to the ballista and shouted, and suddenly a row of crossbow guns shot towards the city wall after Cheng Hu finished speaking. This row of ballistae did not go to hurt people, but to nail them to the city walls.

"Second platoon ready, launch!" As Cheng Hu's words fell, another row of crossbow guns shot towards the city wall.

"Captain, what do they mean?" The soldiers beside Xu Ji asked. Xu Ji was also puzzled, he didn't understand why these crossbow guns no longer hurt people but were nailed to the city wall. Just when Xu Ji was puzzled, the Mo sword soldiers under the city wall were already climbing up along the crossbow guns.

"Oh no, rolling wood, throw it down! Heat oil ready. Xu Ji hurriedly shouted.

Cheng Hu watched as the soldiers of the Modao Battalion who were climbing up along the crossbow guns were shot down by the defenders on the city wall, and sounded the horn to collect the troops. When Cheng Hu came out, Tang Zheng had already explained very clearly, this time it was just a tentative attack, and now that the goal has been achieved, it is time to withdraw the troops.

The Modao soldiers who were besieging the city heard the sound of the horn from behind, picked up their wounded companions, and slowly retreated. Xu Ji, who was standing on the city wall, unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Mo Dao soldiers retreating, he knew that this was a tentative attack by Rinshan, but such a tentative attack caused his own side heavy losses.

"Captain, the enemy has retreated!" The pro-soldier said to Xu Ji.

"I saw it, and ordered the wounded soldiers to be treated. In addition, the equipment consumed has been replenished urgently, and I am afraid that after this temptation, the enemy will be the real attack of the army! ”

"No, my subordinates will do it!" After saying that, the soldiers turned around and walked down the city wall.

"Captain Xu, have you repelled the enemy's attack?" Zhang Jue, who came in a hurry, asked.

"Well, this is just a tentative siege by the enemy, and I am afraid that after this time, the enemy will launch a large-scale siege. As you can see, this tentative siege of the enemy caused us so much loss. Xu Ji pointed to the wounded soldier lying on the ground and said.

"Yes, I didn't expect Rinzan to become so powerful in such a short period of time. Hey, I don't know when the general's reinforcements will arrive! Zhang Jue said.

Xu Ji didn't speak, looking at the wounded soldiers on the city wall thoughtfully. The last time Xu Wu and Rin Shan were fighting, I felt that the Rin Shan army was already extremely strong, and I didn't expect that the Rin Mountain army had become stronger in less than a year. Fortunately, this time the Rinshan army did not use the weapon that could explode after ignition used in the Xu Wu battlefield last time, otherwise it would be this round of tentative siege, maybe Linyu City would have been broken by the Rinshan army.

"What about our casualties?" Tang Zheng asked Cheng Hu, who came back to recover his life.

"Fujun, only more than 60 people were injured in this siege, and more than 20 of them were burned by boiling oil, but it is not a big problem to have the protection of armor, only more than 30 people were injured by rolling wood and caused fractures in different parts."

"Well, it's okay, everything is within an acceptable range, etc., and the order is to let the military doctor treat the wounded soldiers." Tang Zheng said to Zhang Chao.

"No!" Zhang Chao turned around and went down to carry out Tang Zheng's order.

"Fujun, why don't we use fire oil bottles? If we use the fire oil bottle, I believe that we will be able to take Linyu with this temptation to attack the city. Cheng Hu asked Tang Zheng puzzled.

"It's not that I don't want to use it, you also know how harmful the oil bottle is, there are still many people in Linyu City, and we can't ignore their lives and deaths."

"That's not to blame us, it's because they want to follow Zhang Chun to rebel that they are here today."

"There is never a right or wrong in war, only different positions. If, as you said, today we take Linyu with a fire oil bottle, and when we are gone and send people to govern Linyu, will these people turn against us again? ”

"That's just as well." Cheng Hu scratched his head and said.

"Huzi, you have to remember that it is easy to occupy a place, but to occupy the hearts and minds of the people of a place is not something that can be done simply by fighting and killing. We don't want a useless piece of land, we want the hearts and minds of the people of a place. You have to remember the saying, 'Save people and lose land, people and land will survive.'" Saving land and losing people, people and land are lost. ’”

"Well, I know about the prince."

"Alright, you go down and rest first!" Tang Zheng said to Cheng Hu. Cheng Hu agreed and walked out of Tang Zheng's tent.

"Zilong, you lead the troops around Linyu to intercept the reinforcements from Shanhaiguan." Tang Zheng arranged for Zhao Yun.

"Yes, Fujun, my subordinates will go here." After speaking, Zhao Yun's eyebrows danced and bowed to Tang Zheng, and he walked out of Tang Zheng's camp.

"Zhang Chao, how are the details you arranged in the city?"

"Hui Gongzi. You can open the gates of the city at any time and join us inside and out. ”

"Well, tell them to be ready at any time, and when Cheng Hu and them are rested, we will attack the city overnight and strive to take Linyu in a battle."

"No, my subordinates will arrange it." After speaking, Zhang Chao also turned around and left Tang Zheng's camp.

"Brother Dian, let's go, let's go out and have a look together." Dian Wei nodded and followed Tang Zheng out of the tent.

Tang Zheng and Dian Wei came to the outside of the camp tent, looked at Linyu City from afar, Tang Zheng said to Dian Wei: "Brother Dian, why do you say that so many people in this world always care about their own interests and ignore the lives of the people?" ”

"The people of our nation are ignorant, and there are always some people who think they are superior and always want to oppress the people to show their nobility. Therefore, this has caused some people to never regard people as human beings for their own interests, they think that they are superior to others, and the people are not worthy of living in the same world, and they only think about their own interests and treat the people as cattle and sheep. Dian Wei said.

"Aren't all people the same? Why do you want to divide the high and the low? Shouldn't it be the responsibility of guiding the people that some people have enjoyed many more benefits from birth than others have received in their lifetimes? Why do you continue to oppress the people? Aren't all the fruits of the people's labor that we enjoy? Why do we want to oppress a group of people who provide us with a good life? ”

"Brother Tang, I don't know how to answer these words, you know that I am a big and rough man, and you ask me these are simply playing the piano to the cow."

"How nice it would be if there weren't so much strife in this world!"

"Brother Tang, you have an unrealistic idea. Since Yu passed on his position to his son Qi, the public world has become a family world, and disputes have formed. It's not something you can change if you want to, even the ancient sages can't avoid vulgarity, let alone these people. ”

"Okay, Brother Dian, let's not talk about that. Let's go, follow me to the wounded barracks. Tang Zheng stopped the topic and walked towards the wounded barracks with Dian Wei.
